Episode 14

Everything I just told you now, I know they probably won’t make any s-en-se but believe me when I say that , Fabian was just looking out for you.”

She was quiet, only looking at the crazy man who had kidnapped her and who had just told him the most incredible story of her life.

“So, you were meant to erase my memory and lie to me? That was what Fabian asked you to do to me? After killing Nana?”

He sighed. “Look, I know it may seem difficult and…”

“Just answer me!”

He took a de-ep breath and nodded slightly.

She smiled painfully

. She was right, Fabian had gone crazy and had become someone else entirely….

“plea-se, he did this for your own good, your father….”

“Don’t talk about my father. You don’t know me, you don’t know my father and I don’t know you. As far as I’m concerned, you kidnapped me and …”

“Look, if I wanted to kill you, I would have…but Fabian….”

“He is dead to me. Okay st©p mentioning his name.”

Michael stood up and did something on the l@pt©p on the be-d.

. “plea-se, for your own good, I nee-d you to watch this video.” He said, eyes pleading and the muscles of her face ti-ght£ñed as she saw Fabian. His eyes looked bloodsh0t as he stared back at her…

“Hi Shelby, if you are seeing this, that means whatever I and Michael planned failed and that means I had told you the one scret that kept haunting me day and night and this the death of Nana. Believe me, it wasn’t my de-sire to kill the woman that raised us but your father made me do it. Your father is the culprit. You have no idea what he is capable of, Michael was his recruit as well but he escaped when he was asked to kill his father, I wasn’t giving any heads-up as regards the shooting, I swear I wouldn’t have done it. I don’t know if you would forgive me or if you would believe me I nee-d you to be safe and I am doing the best I can. plea-se don’t hate me, oneday you would un-derstand why I am doing this. Trust Michael, he will keep you safe. I stole the tag you stole from your father. I am sorry but it’s for your own good. Rigth now, I am going to pl@yits content for you so that you can believe me.” After this, there was a smaller screen beside him, he did somethings and suddenly it started pla-ying- first, it showed her everything that took place on the night that Nana was killed and then the picture bec@m£ unclear just as Fabian advanced to st©p it. He looked surprised and then left it to see what was on it. and the video seemed to be slightly bent as if someone was recording when they weren’t supposed to. She saw the sky at first, then a large buiilding that looked like a training ground, and finally her father’s face. as he announced. ” Gentlemen, I am happy to announce that we haveOur latest recruit Fabian Dominic, has just pas-sed his red test by killing somoene who meant the world to him, that means he is re-ady for this and he should serve as a role model for all of you. if you are in you are in, and if you are out, you are dead. We are still on the lookout for Michae, the coward who ran, trust me, there is no room for coward in here or out there, this is why we are going to give him time to settle down difrst before we finally kill him..Next is …” Then the video st©pped and Fabian’s face c@m£ into view again. He looked surprised “I had thought that it was my Red Test of where I killed Nana, but apparently, contained more, i had to cpy this while i stole it from you and i am happy i did. I hope you believe me now. You can start a new life with michael, he will keep you safe.”

Shelby sighed loudly as she saw what she just saw. All her life, she had been living with killers and her father was the head…that means Laura and Fabian were his puppets. she shut her eyes and quivered as the realisation hit her. She pursed herl-ips, unable to think, she felt cold immeadiately in her bloodstream.

“I am sorry Shelby.”

She said nothing.

5 years later

When she finally opened her eyes, she was surrounded by white walls. Her b©dy was shaking, entirely corrupted by the liquid adrenaline and medical drugs. Her legs were hvgged to her che-st as she l@yhurdled in the be-d.

How long had she been like this? She wondered.

Pain raced up and down her b©dy like electricity being pushed into a telephone wire….she kept remembering what she had just experienced. Her daughter, her husband….

Her breathing were like glas-s sha-rd s in her long-this was just too much for her….

“Hello Shelby, are you okay?”’

She turned slightly to the voice that spoke behind her. It was Peter, Michael’s brother, Nicholas must have contacted him, Nick was their only friend.

“How are you doing?” He asked.

She was quiet. Only looking at him.

Peter brou-ght our an handky and wiped his face. “Shelby?”

“They are gone Peter.” She said weakly.

Peter was confused. “I know, it’s tragic. The doctor said it was an heart attack and your baby swallowed something…”

“An heart attack?”

He nodded. “Yes, the detective said the inhaler he used was sort of corrupted…”

She frowned. “Corrupted? He didn’t even use his inhaler at all, he didn’t take it from home.”

Peter frowned. “No, a blue colored inhaler was found in his car and it was found out that he used it before he was st©pped.”

Shelby shut her eyes. Everything Michael told her was true….someone had intercepted the inhaler just as Fabian was supposed to do for him to kill him years back. That meant her father had alre-ady found out where she was.

She and Michael have been moving constantly. They kept on moving every five months then every year until she got tired and oneday, they both got drun!k, she was sad angry and frustrated about everything, to make her happy, he had embr@ced her and somehow they were able to have S-x just that night until she discovered she was pregnant.

“I promise you, I will take care of you and the baby.

. No one will hurt us.” Michael had said.

That was how they bec@m£ a family and Tracy’s arrival had given them both hope and a reason to stay together. Michael took care of her, stayed with her, even during multi-ple times when she had run away from home, he kept bringing her back, telling her how Black Widow was deadly and now, they finally got them because she was tired of running and she thought , they must have st©pped looking for them. She wanted to be at peace especially now that they had a baby, she thought they nee-ded it. How wrong was she!

Peter handed a disk pla-yer and inser-ted a flashdrive.

“What is this for?” She asked.

“He gave me that the night you had Tracey, he said if anything happens to him, I should pl@yit for you.”

With shaking hands, she hit the ‘pla-y’ bu-tton and his face c@m£ into view.

“Hello Shelby, I will make this fast. If you are seeing this, that means I am dead and I and Fabian were not able to protect you. Right now, you can’t trust anyone except Peter. You nee-d to keep yourself safe because I can’t do that anymore. Your father apparently got me and if you are seeing this, it is a good thing, that means you are alive and I want it to be that way. I have loved you ever since Fabian told me about you and I really hope you get to forgive him for what he did, he was only looking out for you and he didn’t kill Nana on purpose, he was tricked. plea-se, be fine and do take care of yourself and my beautiful princess. The disc will self destruct in 4, 3, 2, 1…”

Immediately, smoke emitted from the pla-yer and she had to put it away.

“So, where would you like to go Shelby, I don’t un-derstand what is happening and I really don’t want to know, he said it was best like that but now, it is my responsibility to keep you safe…”

“No more running….” She said.

Peter thought he heard wrongly. “What do you mean?”

“It means, my daddy did this to get my attention, so right now, I am going to back to my daddy.”

Episode 15

“Why are you not telling me the truth Laura?”

“Why should I Fabian? You always knew everything, so if you don’t that means the boss doesn’t trust you anymore and that is your problem, not mine.” She retorted.

Fabian stood up. Five years later and his life was still being pushed around by the bloody group. He was getting tired

. He had spent the last five years trying to undo the damage the Black Widow has been doing, without incriminating himself but it wasn’t working like he had wanted. He didn’t have the ru-by and the more he tried to find it, the ha-rder it bec@m£.

The boss as for a while st©pped the search for his daughter and he knew that , that must be a sign of badluck. Boss doesn’t grow quiet unless he has accomplished his aim. Now, he just learnt that Laura and some men went for an op in the UK and he didn’t even know anything about it. It was really so strange.

“I just want to know Laura.”

“Then go ask the boss. St©p disturbing me man!” She replied sharply before leaving his office.

They were at the facility. He knew that something was off. Laura and the boss, getting close, having secret meetings, he knew he was losing his rep and this was bound to affect him in every way. He was still the head of operation(op) and nothing goes behind him except….except anything personal to the boss.

He had tried not to find Michael or Shelby as he had promised but now, for the past one month, he had been doing nothing but to try and find them. He had been having some strange dreams and his mind was not at rest.

If boss keeps keeping him in the loop, that would mean , he was trying to get rid of him and Nana had said that they nee-ded allies. Been a while, he went to see her actually, maybe he could go tonight.

His desk phone rang and he picked it.

“Hello.”

“You are nee-ded upstairs.”

“Okay.”

** **

The elevator chimed and he stepped out into the living room of the mansion. The boss was behind his computer.

“You s£nt for me boss?”

“Yea. I heard you have been bugging Laura about the UK op right?”

Fabian g@sped. Laura was really something else but he nee-ded to act right. “Yes boss I just thought it was not right as the head of op for me not to know what is going on. I t has never happened before.”

“Well..” The man continued, typing on his keyboard. “We found Shelby.”

Fabian’s heart did a double fli-p. Oh God! Oh no no !

“You did?”

“Yep and someone finally did the job you have been finding too difficult to do all this while.

. To switch a common inhaler Fabian, you couldn’t! You have really gone way out of your head thinking you can sabotage my business!”

“I was only doing it to save your daughter sir. I thought she deserved better than you are giving her.” He stated grimly.

The man stood up.

“You know, the only reason why I am keeping you alive is because I think you have something that I might nee-d in the future, if not, I would have wasted you a long time ago. I am giving you another chance with Shelby.”

“Wait, you are not going to kill me?”

He shook his head.

“No. But you are no longer the head of op.”

Fabian nodded. He knew this would happen, Laura would become the head. “So who is?”

“She is.” The man replied, turning his l@pt©p to around so that Fabian could see.

Fabian’s heart sank as he saw Shelby in their computer lab, there were several wires being pas-sed into her skin, her eyes were closed. His heart was pounding against his che-st as he watched her. Five years later she was as beautiful as ever and five years later, he had failed to save her.

“What are they doing to her?” Fabian asked, clutching the screen with his hands.

“They are preparing her to be what I want her to be. Everything she has ever known would be wiped out and she would be filled with something new, deadly, dangerous and powerful. She would be finally be a Black Widow!”

“plea-se, don’t do this! I will do anything you want me to be! plea-se!” Fabian pleaded, his shi-t was soa-ked in his own sweat.

Just then the father’s phone rang, he put it to loudspeaker, it was from the lab.

“Boss, there is a problem.”

‘What problem?”

“There is something in her blood stream and….”

“What’s that?”

“Something like a ru-by…sort of, might be a bug or something it’s inteferring with everything we are doing.”

Fabian’s eyes got wi-de-ned. The ru-by..the ru-by was in her blood!

“re-move it and …bring it to me.” HE ordered

Fabian’s heart was pounding so fast, he nee-ded to get to Nana fast.

“Fabian you can go, I will let you know when you are nee-ded.”

***

“Nana, this is bad! I am losing my mind. The stuff is in her blood! How did they even find her!”

“Stay calm Fabian.”

“I can’t stay calm Nana. All the works I did are just gone like that! Everything I did! Nana! “

“Fabian…”

“Michael is dead, her baby is dead, all that pain will drive her crazy with what they are doing to her!”

“She had a baby?”

Fabian nodded as he paced. “Yes! I later found out.”

“Poor girl.”

“I caused all this Nana! I caused all this! I should never have tried to save her in the first place, I should have….” Fabian broke down and cried.

Nana sighed, stood up and walked to him, putting her wrinkly hand on his head.

“All hope is not lost Fabian.”

‘All hope is lost Nana

. I am sure that by now the ru-by would be with her father and he will destroy it, how else do you think we can save ourselves and I can get you out of this lonely place.”

“Listen to me Fabian. You should be glad that I am alive. There is something you nee-d to do.”

“What is that?” He asked, wiping his face.

“You nee-d to go to South Africa as soon as you can.”

“Why?”

“We nee-d Allies and I have a cousin who works for a powerful man that can help us.”

“You have a cousin?”

Nana nodded.

“I have been contacting her for a while since I got here. She wanted me to come over but I couldn’t, once the CCTV catches me , your boss would kill you for sure.”
“So, who is this man and how powerful is he?”

“Well, I heard that he could be a total pain but he has men everywhere and he ventures in drug business. He has weapons and people. If you talk to him and you are able to convince him about Black Widow, he may help.”

“What is his name?”

“Well, something Nate. Calvin Nate.”

“He is a white man?”

Nana nodded. “Yea, he got married recently so my cousin said, it’s best you talk to his wife first. Hold on, get me my l@pt©p.”

Fabian hurried to gr-ab the l@pt©p from the couch. The old woman switched it on and navigated to the skype mess£nger, she pressed some bu-ttons and another older woman but younger than Nana c@m£ into view.

“Hey Kofi.” Nana said with a smile. “How are you?”

The younger woman smiled.
. “I’m good Nana. Wait, is that the godson behind you?”

Nana smiled. “Yes, that is Fabian.”

“Wow! He looks so macho. How are you son?”

“Fine Madam Kofi.” Fabian replied. These old people should be fast about it.
“It is about what we discussed Kofi, is your boss’s wife close by?”

Fabian could hear someone pla-ying the piano.

“Yes she is, lemme talk to her.”

For a while, there was no one on the screen. Later Kofi c@m£ back.

“Yes, she said you nee-d to come see her first but you must be careful, my boss is very ..urm, how do I put it? He doesn’t joke with his wife so you nee-d to be fast and you be able to convince her.”

“What’s her name?” Fabian asked.

“Sonia. She will s£nd a jet to bring you because, you might not find this place if you come on your own. I was able to tell her that my sister’s son is in trouble and she agreed to help.”

“Thank you so much Madam Kofi.”

Madam Kofi replied. “Cra-p! Boss is around, I got to go. Our boss is like the devil himself, thanks for the angel he married.” quic-kly, the mess£nger went off.

“So what now?”

“You go wait at the airport; I will call you on our pri-vate lines.”

*******

The helicopter finally landed at the center of field, b!owing everything in its p@rt. Carefully, Fabian stepped out. He was amazed at the beauty of the whole surrounding. Far behind him were mountains and to his left was a beautiful lake. Ahead of him was the biggest mansion he had ever seen. Even the one back at home wouldn’t stand a chance.

From a distance he saw a man coming towards him. There was a chewing stick sticking out of a corner of his blackl-ips

. He was in pair of brown timbaland boots, black sun glas-ses and black hoodie. What fascinated him mostly about him was the gun around his shoulders, it was a self-loading Ruger point 22 model K10/22PPF. A low-velocity weapon, less deadly than some might have chos£n. But the gun had two hvge advantages. It was light. And it was very compact.

He st©pped as he was two feet away from him.

Then the man di-pped a hand in his pocket and brou-ght out a picture, then he glanced from the picture back to him and nodded. “Come with me.” He order, turning around and walking back to the mansion.

Fabian was surprised. How did he have his picture? Well, it must have been taken when he and Nana were talking to Madam Kofi whom he hoped he would see soon.

As they got to the front of the mansion. His guide brou-ght his face to the scanner that was attached to the side of the gate for a facial recognition.

“Welcome Ruzo!” The intercom said before the creaky iron gates opened and they stepped in.

The mansion stood proudly in all its majesty at the center of the compound

. Each side was flanked by tall skeletal trees swaying gently to the morning wind. A delicate marble fountain stood at its threshold giving off a gurgling clear water in the surrounding silence. There were two guards at each at every angle of the mansion and none of them was smiling. They looked like lions that were re-ady to pounce at anytime. There were many expensive cars in the compound and he wondered how many people were actually living there.

He recognized the older woman who began to climb down the steps to meet him.

“Hi, you must be Fabian. You even look more dashing than on the video call.” Madam Kofi said, the S.S accent was prominent in her English. She extended her hands towards him which he took warmly.

“Thank you Ma’am.”

“Thank you Ruzo. I will attend to him.” The woman said but the other man kept starring at him.

“Drop all your weapons there.” He ordered, pointing to the floor.

Damn it! These men are good! Fabian said to himself. These were the only things he had brou-ght to protect himself.

“Do it.” Madam Kofi said sternly and reluctantly, he lifted the sole of his feet and he re-moved the semi-automatic which was attached to the back of his shoe.

“That as well.” Ruzo said , pointing to his glas-ses. It was not an ordinary glas-ses, it was a machine on its own , there was a bu-tton at the side of each frame which if press could s£nd the target straight to hell.

. He re-moved that as well, and dropped it next to the gun.

Ruzo was still giving him a stern look so he re-moved his wristwatch, his deadly ring as well as the tiny knife embe-dded in his belt, infacr, he re-moved his belt entirely and gave Ruzo the , ‘happy now?’ look.

“You can take him now. “ The man said to the woman who led him straight into the house.

The interior looked like something that would grace the cover of the Frobes Magazine. Everything was geometric and of the most expensive design. Everywhere was made up of glas-s and steel and marble. It was full of splendor.

“Ma’am, does a man stay here or a god?” He asked quietly.

“A devil.” c@m£ the reply but the voice didn’t belong to Madam Kofi, he turned around to see a lady climbing down from the grand sweeping stair case. She was in a white flowing go-wn which swept the floor with which step she took. Her brown skin was completely flawless and her black curls hung loosely around her shoulders. Simplicity radiated over, helping those around her to relax and be happy with what they have. Perhaps that is why her skin glowed like that, it was her inner beauty that lit her eyes and softened her features.

“Hi, I am Mrs Sonia Nate, plea-se call me Sonia.” She said, extending her hand forward. Fabian took the hand, a raw gold sparkled from her fourth f!nger.

“Hi, I am Fabian and you are so beautiful…” He said before he could st©p himself but Madam Kofi nudged him at the elbow.

“Don’t let my husband hear you say that, he will have your head straight away but thank you.” Sonia said, almost laughing out.

“plea-se come with me. I want to hear everything about this deadly group.”
