Episode 7

For a while neither of them spoke. Michael kept looking at him as if he was probably mad. They kept staring at each other. Suddenly, the phone on the table rang, startling them both.

Michael cleared his throat and pressed the receiver bu-tton

. “Not now Rachael, I’m busy.”

Later he looked at Fabian again, disappointment and fear was written all over his face.

“I can’t believe you killed one woman that raised you and Shelby. You know how much Shelby loved her. What the hell was wrong with you! Don’t you have a heart? Are you so messed up that you can’t even think? Nana…oh God.” Michael whimpered.

Fabian was quiet. He felt more better having told someone about the horrible thing he had done, yet the guilt was over powering. He kept looking at the floor, unable to think or say anything.

“If Shelby finds out man, she will hate you forever…she will hate you if she doesn’t kill you herself.”

“You think I don’t know that?” Fabian shouted at him, tears falling from his eyes. “ I didn’t know it was Nana. All I had was an information about someone that I would nee-d to kill. All I had was an address….i didn’t know….” Fabian sobbe-d.

“What do you mean you didn’t know?”

“ When I later discovered it was her, it was alre-ady too late, I had alre-ady sh0t her. you should have seen the shock and disappointment in her face as life went out of her while I held her in my arms…it was a horror that kept haunting me every day and every night. I killed the woman that had taken care of me…you think I wanted it….?”

Michael was quiet.

“Now he has all the video recording of my Red Test on the microch!pembe-dded in his Tag…if Shelby gets her hand on the tag….and she finds a way to use it, she will find out the truth. This is what he has been using against me to make me do his will, this is why I can’t leave or run.”

Michael sighed.

“This is so fv¢ked up man. You are in a de-ep $h!t. He has you in his grip. This is why we nee-d to get rid of the group.”

Fabian scoffed. “You are so naïve. Black widow is not a group. It is a network of as-sas-sin and occult all over Africa and some p@rts of the world. See it as the African Illuminati. They control everything, even the air. If you get rid of one br@nch, others will grow, you have to get rid of them from the t©p.”

Michael was feeling uneasy and di-pping his hand in his pocket, he brou-ght out his inhaler but Fabian st©pped him.

“If you inhale that thing, you are so dead.”

Immediately, Michael dropped the inhaler, looking at him wi-de-eyed.

“So why are you telling me all these? Is it because you can kill me at anytime knowing the information will die with me?”

Fabian smiled. “No, I’m telling you so you can help me, and if you can help me I will save your life.”

“really? How?”

““Like I said, Black Widow is everywhere. I am not here to kill you, I am only here to confirm your death. You see that inhaler, Black Widow got it switched so if you inhale it, you will suffer heart attack and you will die. Here, take this.” He re-moved his shoe and inser-ted a f!nger into his socks to bring out a little inhaler which looked almost identical to the one on the table which he later took and put in his brief case.

“I want you to live so you can help me keep Shelby alive and away from Black Widow.”

“But, how, won’t they realize that I’m not dead?’

“No, I am very good at what I do. When you inhale that thing, your heart will cease for just the time nee-ded to confirm your death and taken to the mortuary.

. In the seventh hour, you will wake up and be re-ady to run for your life. When I nee-d you, I will find you. Don’t bother to look for me. I nee-d you to make sure Shelby falls inlove with you once its time, I nee-d you two to be happy and to be safe.”

Michael sighed again and nodded. “Thanks man. So I will finally get the girl.” He added with a grin. “Who would have thought you would hand her to me willingly.”

Fabian smiled painfully. “My hands are covered with blood alre-ady and she doesn’t deserve a monster like me. Both of you are good people, you deserve each other”. Fabian continued.“So anyone you trust that you can call, call them so they can help you with the plan.”

“Okay. But are you sure this won’t put you into trouble with the boss?”

Just as Fabian wanted to respond, his phone vibr@ted and he took it out from the opened briefcase, it was the boss.

‘Hello sir.”

Michael watched as Fabian’s face bec@m£ more ha-rd ened, hisl-ips ba-rely moving, there was sadness to his eyes….

The call ended and he looked at Michael..

“What is it Fabian?”

“Shelby has the tag.”

“Shelby has the tag? Michael asked again for the second time.

“Yes she does.” Michael replied painfully.

“You nee-d to find a way to get it back from her as soon as possible that is if she doesn’t find out before you get back home.” Michael said sternly, he looked frightened for his friend who just sat as if he had no idea of what to do.

Suddenly, Fabian j£rked up. “I will leave this place in the next 2 minutes, make sure you call your secretary in the next two minute that follows, from his desk to your office is between 6-7 seconds, within those minutes, make sure you use the inhaler

. Once he is here, you must have st©pped breathing. So you have a minute between my dep@rture and your secretary calling to s£nd a message to whomever you nee-d to message to come get you from the mortuary, make sure you tell them to tell anob©dy. I will find a way to bring you and her in the same place, I will give you all the necessary information you nee-d to climb your way into her heart. But if you do anything to hurt her, I will track you to the end of the world, I will peel out your two eyeba-lls and feed them to the vultures, then I will cut your arms into seventeen pieces while you are still breathing, then I will cut your pri-vate p@rt and feed to one of my dogs..then I will..”

“I get the picture to not break her heart. plea-se leave all the details.”

“Good

. I’m glad you un-derstand me perfectly. Take care fella. “ With this Fabian picked his bag and headed out of the room. As he slammed the door behind him he started counting the time.

He walked slowly towards the secretary with his briefcase, the man looked at him briefly but got distracted by the ringing of the telephone.

6 seconds more……..

By the time he got to the security man for his check out, he was no longer carrying a briefcase.

It wasn’t the man that had checked him in, he was different, he scanned him again all over and as he did, Fabian took another look at the secretary who was now entering Michael’s office. He glanced at his watch…that had taken about 20 seconds…..leaving him with 40 seconds to get out of here…

40, 39, 38, 37…..

He was alre-ady close to the glas-sy door…the secretary was still in.

10…98754321…. He was alre-ady on the road when he heard-

“Someone get an ambulance!”

He was working unhurriedly towards his car which was packed some blocks away down the other road. HE watched as the security men sped past him, looking for the banker who was wearing a black suit, a wine tie and a funny looking moustache with a wedding ring…one of them looked back at him, frowned and ran ahead, leaving him behind.

As he walked past the boutique, he caught his reflection in the mirror, he had turned his suit inside out, instead of the black color, it was blue outside and the black was inside, the wine tie was no longer in site and there was no moustache again, instead he was wearing a pair of spectacles and a big hat which he had pu-ll-ed out from somewhere in his jacket. with these, the ring on his f!nger was now somehwere on his ear-lobe, he had become a different man entirely.

His car st©pped infront of him and the door opened.

Once they were far from the bank, he started ma-king calls.

“Hello, it’s me, yea, keep an eye on the princess, jam all her phone networks until I’m back.”
