DELIVERY SERVICE
EPISODE 12

 

“Boss plea-se wait!!!!!!” **stretching forth his hand** Said One of the guys as the leader pointed the gun to my head and was about pu-lling the trigger. The leader looked side ways to his side.

LEADER: What is it?

GUY: plea-se let’s approach this thing professionally.

LEADER: What do you mean?

GUY: I mean we should get the parcel first. Who knows, the envelope may not contain what we wanted, and if it happened that way, who would lead us to the actual parcel?

LEADER: I think you are right. Let’s get the parcel first before I deal with this man. He turned to me. Mr delivery, if I found out that you lied to me, I won’t spare you.

ME: **stammering** Sir!!! plea-se I want to say something.

LEADER: Sssshhhh shut up. **calls on four of the guys** The four of you will follow me to his house right now to welcome his girlfriend. And you **pointing at the last guy**** Stay here and make sure he doesn’t escape. We will be back soon.

The guys walked out of house and i began to cry like a baby, I pas-sed urine more than twice. I was screaming and begging for mercy but no one was listening. As my crying was getting louder, the guy staying back to watch me sl@pped me and told me to keep quiet and threatened to shoot me if I make any further sound. I kept quiet and was wailing inside of me. I alre-ady knew it was the end of the road for me. I believed if the guys returned home, I would be killed.

About an hour after their dep@rture, I began to say my last prayers, I asked for forgiveness of my sins and plead to baba God to accept me into paradise.

Moments later, the guy who was with me started getting uncomfortable as the guys hadn’t returned. He tried to put a call to them but they weren’t reachable. He would look out throu-gh the window and walk out of the room at intervals. At 9pm, someone knocked on the main door from outside, the guy who was with me was enquiring from the person knocking to identify himself but no one was talking but the knocking continued. He picked his phone to call his team but they were unreachable. He then held his gun in a James Bond style and walked out of the room. I heard the sound of the door opening at a moment, and the next moment, I heard a scream of pain and agony then a silence followed. I heard foot steps approaching my direction. The door was opened and I saw four hefty guys in black outfit entering, a knife stained with blood dripping on the floor was with one of the guys, and a man in simple native wear entered and the door was shut. I looked at their faces and none of them looked familiar. I began to cry and beg for mercy and telling them that I wasn’t the people they were looking for, I told them I was held in captive here and they should help me to be freed. The man on native c@m£ closer, collected a knife containing blood stains from one of the 3 guys, I guess it was the knife they used in killing the guy watching over me. He c@m£ closer to me, raised up my head, placed the knife on my n£¢k and said ”you gave me a fake envelope abi? Where is my parcel? Tell me where it is or YOU DIE”

ME: **Crying** plea-se spare my life sir.

MR FEMI: Where is my parcel?

ME: It’s with them sir.

Mr FEMI: Tell me, who are they?

ME: I don’t really know much sir, but I heard they were s£nt by the chairman to retrieve the parcel I wanted to deliver to you.

MR FEMI: Chief Badmus right?

ME: I didn’t hear of any name sir.

MR FEMI: So where are the rest of the guys?

ME: They went for an operation sir.

MR FEMI: since they have the parcel, how come you are still here with them?

ME: They said they wanted to use me to get to you and hunt you down sir!

MR FEMI: **Laughs out loud and landed a sl@p on my face** Both you and them must be silly.

I was crying on the chair with my hands and legs still tied to the chair. Mr Femi ordered his boys to search throu-gh the entire house for the parcel while he was standing in front of me. After several minutes of fruitless search, the three guys retreated into the room to give feedback about their inability to get the parcel. Mr Femi was so angry that his red eyeba-lls could light a cigarette. At few minutes past 11pm, we were all in the room as Mr Femi and his crew were busy ma-king strategies on how to get the parcel. Sudden voices were heard as torch lights and guns were stretched forward by these strange men and the light illuminated the room. The voices were ”Police! Put down your weapons. No room for escape as the whole compoundis surrounded”. Two of Mr Femi’s boys sh0t at these strange men and the three of Mr Femi’s guys were sh0t dead in retaliation.

When Mr Femi noticed that he had been overpowered and out numbered, he surrendered and raised up his hands. Two of the strange men c@m£ to me, untied me and introduced themselves as police men. I had a mixed feelings of joy and sadness. The feelings of joy was about my freedom and the feelings of sadness was the thoughts of my girlfriend, I din’t know if she wasn’t hurt by Labake’s team guys. Mr Femi was handcuffed into their van and I was told to follow them to the station. The corpse were also taken away that night.

On getting to the station, I saw my girlfriend Adenike, I was happy as she ran towards me and hvgged me. We k!$$£d for minutes before going to the IPO to write our statements. I also saw 3 out of the 5 team members including their leader who left for my house earlier in handcuffs. Adenike told me that two were killed by policemen when they made attempt to shoot at the cops.

I asked her how the policemen got involved in the matter and she promised to tell me everything when we get home.
