fu-ck and run episode 11
I stood transfixed, staring at Ken trying to see if he felt remorse for what he was doing, the bastard kept the gun at my head level staring back at me. I clenched my fist almost wanting to punch him but I have punched enough people to know the aftermath.
“So this is it, your revenge plan.” I said to Ken’s face, his face had no expression.
“You deserve whatever that is happening to you.” He replied me.
“How do I deserve it, what did I do wrong?” I was almost yelling at Ken.
“You are not a friend to me, I nee-ded help and you couldn’t come throu-gh for me.”
“Do I look like your piggy bank? Friends do not encourage laziness”
“I wasn’t lazy!” Ken yelled and I raised a brow. “I was into a business; I invested all my money into it, turned out to be a scam. I was broke and I was in debt, and then I turned to my so called friend for help and he just turned me down. He didn’t even ask what I nee-ded the money for.”
“You are a liar, I remember asking you, and you hung up on me!”
“After you started raining abuses on me” Ken and I were both fuming. “So right now I want you to take your as-s back to that seat and empty your account for me.” He said and aimed the pistol fiercely at me. I slowly retreated back to the chair with a resolve not to l@ya hand on the computer, I was re-ady to go throu-gh torture even re-ady to die, but these captors of mine won’t see a dime of my ha-rd earned money.
I sat on the chair idle for twenty seconds before I heard Ken exhale sharply. “Well seems like you are shy around this crowd.” I made no movement. “Well then let’s get rid of a few for you. Mike you were telling Charles something, I would like you to continue.” Ken said.
Mike walked to where I was and I saw remorse in his eyes like he was almost crying. He squ-atted beside me and said. “Charles like I said, I am un-der duress here, I’m not a bad person. These people got something on me, I know you think I am the master mind, it’s not me it’s…”
“Enough!” Ken exclaimed, I heard a deafening sound, and then I saw blood oozing out from a hole in Mike’s head. He fell on his side and never moved again.
“Segun, you have any last words?” Ken turned to segun, aiming his pistol at him. Segun looked infuriated he was about to dash for Ken, Ken fired.
Segun clutched at his che-st, staggered backward, fell on his back and then he was motionless.
“Huh that does it.” Ken sm-irked at me “Just the two of us left now, what’s it gone be? You pla-ying along or pla-ying against?”
I remained silent, Mike was right; meeting Ken was the most devastating moment in my life.
“Look Charles I know you are going throu-gh a lot but you deserve it.”
I looked at Ken with disdain, I wanted to launch at him but I thought about it. I knew I was re-ady to die instead of transferring my money, but I didn’t want to provoke it because there is chance that I could be saved. If only Victory would get my message.
Everything seemed surreal, I have been living a life someone else wrote for me, I have pla-yed along to their plot, did everything they wanted. Since Mike said he was manipulated into doing what he did then maybe Tiffany was also f0rç£d to tick me, because when I had her, she felt so real, there is no way slee-ping with me was p@rt of the script. I could remember she c@m£ to warn me heck she even said she was sorry.
All hatred I felt towards Tiffany was resolved. I was beginning to miss her again.
I looked at Ken all I could do was wish him harm. “You will never get away with this I promise.”
Ken chuckled “That joke’s on you bro, think about it, everything is labeled on you, you bleeped and killed an actress then you ran, sh0t a police woman and ran again, now you have killed a tech tycoon and some other random guy, and soon you will take your own life. plea-se remind me how I am still involved.”
“What did I do wrong to instill so much hatred?”
“Simple! You were stingy to me.”
“How did you do it? How did you get all these people to do your bidding?” I said with croaked voice.
Ken exhaled. “Well it wasn’t easy, but sometimes God just decides to bless you with wisdom, wisdom that makes you cook up plans and alternate plans, well calculated scenarios. Let’s see, I met Mike at a casino, conned him to brokenness and then he stated using company’s money, I later got him in scandalous situations started blackmailing him, well enough about Mike.”
“What about Tiffany?”
“I won’t tell you because, you are wasting my time. Why not start transferring, I will tell you the whole story when it starts re-ading in percentages.”
“Forget about it Ken that is not happening.”
Ken bec@m£ worried and I wondered why. He brou-ght his phone and dialed someone. “Where are you?” he asked the receiver angrily, waited for a reply. “Then come inside.”
“Hey buddy, I’ve got a surprise for you.” He said and pointed towards the entrance. I wondered what the surprise could be, then I saw it or should I say her. Victory walked into the room tensed, I sat gaping at her in shock. For a moment there I thought Victory was betraying me until I saw a hand holding a pistol emerge, I looked at victory who was apologizing with her facial gesture and took a resolved breath. She c@m£ for me, but why the hell did she come alone?
I stared at the hand and deduced that it was a female hand, I wondered who it could be, and then majestically a foot stepped in, followed by a full b©dy. The face I saw s£nt a wave of shock throu-gh my entire b©dy.
Standing before me, in the flesh was Tiffany Johnson.
