LOVE AND JUSTICE
EPISODE 8
 
 
Ackim.
I had blacked out for some number of hours I could not manage to ascertain. I shook as I awake looking around me. Two hvge guys were standing on the door way to the room I was tied up. I took a few minutes down the floor trying to recoup my mind to what was going on. Then I recalled everything that happened. I was in some kind of dream and Mr. Benson was asking me questions.
“sh*t!” I cursed inside my head realizing how stupid I had been.
“Damn you Benson!” I screamed in my head looking around for any kind of escape. I had to warn Steve to stay alert as he was now in the open. I had no idea what was going on now that I couldn’t even tell what it was he was told to do.
Clearing my throat, I caught the attention of the guys on watch and they both turned to look at me.
“I am thirsty” I started, wanting to get them to act or at least move closer. My hands where chained and locked with a padlock and I could see the keys hanging on one of the guy`s pocket.
They both laughed out aloud.
“Who do you think you are?” one of them spat kicking my side and I winced painfully.
“If you knew what is good for you who, or who you are dealing with you wouldn’t be laughing right now” I responded deliberately wanting him to provoke him into moving towards me.
He stepped forward and kicked me again his friend joining in. quic-kly I lifted my hands up the pole I was tied to which was in the middle of the small room and swayed around hitting both of them in the legs and s£nding them down in an instant.
They quic-kly jumped up and c@m£ on to me as I steadily planted my feet in the floor for balance. The first guy`s b!ows were really hush on me but that didn’t keep me from fighting, I felt I nee-ded to get out and I hated being tied up.
Another rou-gh swing and I s£nt the second guy to the floor. He suddenly hit the wall and fall down silent. The next guy rushed to me but I had an advantage being closer to the ground and I held him down as he tried to hit me with his boots. He fall down too and before he could take his stand again I was wra-pping my legs around him and with all my strength holding him down till he started shaking and fighting to escape the grip but I held on firm and twisted his n£¢k till I heard it crack the guy falling down dead.
“Idiots! Next time tie my legs!” I whispered as I pu-ll-ed him closer with my legs and gr@bb£d the key with my ba-re feet. It took a couple of minutes but I managed to use my mouth to unlock the lock on my hands and set myself free.
The noise must have alerted the other guards as I saw them ran towards the room. I realised it was a separate room from the house I could see now from a few meters away. quic-kly I gr@bb£d the gun from the floor and hid by the corner waiting for the first guy to appear upfront and like I had presumed the first guy entered and shouted seeing his friends down.
“He..” he could not finish his s£ntence and I gr@bb£d him twisting his n£¢k and s£nding him to sleep instantly. A number of them c@m£ on to me with shooting but I kept my post firing at them steadily ensuring I didn’t waste my bullets yet.
After i stayed put for a couple of minutes as gun sh0ts c@m£ firing at the wall and throu-gh the door.
“St©p shooting you idiots we nee-d him alive!” I heard Mr. Benson`s voice and I smiled. I knew that was the case, otherwise why would they keep me till then.
“Good” I sighed and waited for another minute for the guys to come closer and when I peeped throu-gh the hole made in the wall I saw them closing in steadily their fire arms re-ady. They didn’t see it coming as I moved forward killing the six guys almost instantly. By the time my riffle was out of the bullets, only Mr. Benson was standing straight clung to the ground as he watched dead men around him.
“You made a wrong enemy Sir!” I shouted seeing a lot more other guards running our way and I knew I had no time with him.
“He shouted for them to get me but I was gone. I kept running in the bush even though the newly burnt bushes where piercing my ba-re feet. I kept running to get far away from my pursuers memories of Congo cl!çk!ng in.
“Find him! He couldn’t have gone any far from here” the voice of General Loko c@m£ to my head.
I recalled hiding in the t©p tree waiting for them to move away. The entire Congo escape pla-yed in my head till the time I got to meet Paula and her father, then I suddenly st©pped.
“No Ackim, st©p running” I told myself standing and turning to look back. Some plodding boots, I could hear from a few meters away and I decided to hide in the scru-bs.
Two guys appeared first and with my riffle covered in the front with my shi-t, I sh0t them silently and watched as they fall to the ground. I moved from that point to another one and took out two other guys. By the time I took out the last one, the entire area was covered with screaming voices of the sh0t guys. I made sure not to shoot to kill but to make the guys have no ability to come after me. Others where sh0t in their hands, others in their legs and those unlucky both. With the use of their own bullets I managed to take down all of them within an hour.
I looked around feeling like a beast without a shi-t on. My blood was boiling and I was so sure if my wife or kids would see me at that moment, they would never want to stay with me again. I knew the beast in me, the fighting and killing spirit that I so much wanted to keep in my past was activated and I was not thinking of sparing anyone.
I run back like a mad man without st©pping to rest or take a breath after taking a t-shi-t from one of the guys and pu-lling it on.
“Where are you?” I asked myself as I searched around the place I was held but it was silent. I looked around carefully but nothing. Then I went in to check the two guys who were guarding me earlier to see if I could find any cell phone on them. Luckily one of them had one and I looked around before ma-king a call.
“Hello” the voice of Steve responded from the other end.
“Hey man! It’s Ackim” I told him.
“What the hell is going on there?” he shouted angrily.
“Change all the plans and, move from where you are man, you have been compromised.” I told him without wasting any time.
“I asked you what is going on, tell me why the idiots are on our tails and having my boys?” I could hear his anger.
“I know that man, for now I want you to ab-ort any mission you planned especially that which I know off. And plea-se don’t tell me anything again till we meet in person. I have been comprised too and just escaped a group of mafias. Benson is on us and you nee-d to act fast” I added looking out again to make sure there was no one else around. I heard him sigh.
“I noticed that and I called on someone to help…” he responded but I st©pped him.
“No, don’t tell me sh*t man. I don’t know how to get away from this from where I am, till you see me in person don’t tell me sh*t and from this moment don’t contact me unless I do.” I spoke firmly and he cut the line.
I crushed the phone into pieces before walking away. I had to find a way home and I first had to find out exactly where I was. Running forward, I moved east trying to find a way to the main road or someone to help me out and I was about to get excited seeing the road ahead when I realized where I was.
“What the hell!” I let a scream st©pping instantly as I watched the view in front of me.
“How the hell did they bring me here?” I asked myself my strength running out.
EPISODE 9
 
Steve….
“Who was that?” Scar asked after I was interrupted by a call.
“It’s my friend” I answered curtly not wanting to express my disappointment.
“What friend? The same one who sold you out?” his voice obvious not plea-sed.
I looked at him and the other guys standing around, the only thing on t©p of us was some slim sheets that covered the t©p of a shade. Well we were there because a few hours back we had been gunned down by a group of men with arms mostly of deadly nature.
Scar and his group arrived minutes after we were ambushed and we gathered at what used to be our second hide out after he helped us out.
I recall I was there before them. I had searched around the area before going inside and settling on a small round couch waiting for the guy I left watching the soldier I had him follow.
Closing my eyes I wanted to st©p for a little bit to think of what I was to do next, I felt my mind scattered and stuck so I nee-ded a break. Then I turned my mind to think of the only person that made me relax, Queen.
In my memories I went back to the day before I left for Copper belt, I woke up slowly opening my eyes and she was there laying besides me breathing gently, I sat to admire her. She shook slightly as she tried to move and then caught me staring.
“What?” she smiled and I felt my heart thaw.
“You know what? I knew that what I felt for you would drive me crazy if I ever harness it but I never imagined waking up to your sight would make my heart race like am a little boy” I smiled in all honesty.
“Hm. Love t©uçhes every heart my love, it softens the hearts of kings and br@ve warriors” she moved to sit up but I held her down.
“No, don’t move!” I sm-irked
“Hm. Okeey!” she sighed placing her hand below her head on the pillow.
“I nee-d to take in all of you so that the way I feel for you in my heart will be the same way your image would stick to my memory. “ I went on pu-lling down the smooth sheet that was covering her n-ked b©dy and moved back to take in all of her. She was amazing, the medium light skin on her b©dy ma-king me want to t©uçh her but I resisted a bit to feed my eyes. Unconsciously, I found myself drawing her contours and she cringed a little as I reached her inner th!ghs.
‘’Stay put” I smiled looking at her eyes filled with de-sire. As I went on drawing further inside she closed her eyes.
“It’s ha-rd to do that soldier” she opened them again and pu-ll-ed me to herself.
“Really? How about you give me proper access to that precious p@rty there?” I murmured k!ss!ngher th!ghs as my hand went further. I could feel my man ha-rd ening and she noticed that too drawing me closer and planting her little f!nger inside my th!ghs too.
“Learn to follow instructions woman” I tea-sed letting a scream of plea-se as her hands reached the ti-p of the mountain ma-king the volcano erupt the liquid so smooth and sultry.
“Hey wake up, slee-ping that de-ep?” a masculine voice c@m£ into my ears interrupting my memory and I sat up quic-kly pointing my gun at him.
“Whoa, whoa! Easy there, it’s me?” Len raised his hands.
“What the…!, You should have knocked dammit!” I snapped standing up.
“Well I did but it seemed like there was no one here” he chuckled tea-singly and walked to the small fridge to get a bottle of water.
“How did it go?” I asked looking out the curtain. It was so dark outside I could ba-rely see past the outside lamp.
“Waiting for someone?” he asked with a de-ep sigh throwing the empty bottle in the bin.
“Yeah, I told you on phone I was going to let in the boys from Kabwe”
“You did. I dint know they will be in today” he shrugged.
“So what happened there, any news?” I asked him again wanting to hear his story
“Nothing Steve, the guy was home the entire time, two girls joined him later on and till the time I moved out, there was no other movements in or out” he explained
“Hm. I find that off, something is not right, one wouldn’t be that easy after being tortured for hours. Check him out first thing in the morning” I sighed gr-abbing a cigarette. I was almost lighting it up when the loud noise of gun sh0ts c@m£ throu-gh piercing the wall and missing my hand by an inch.
“Get down!” I shouted to Len and we fall down pu-lling out our guns. Before we could do anything we heard sh0ts coming from all directions ma-king it ha-rd for us to stay put or take any sh0ts. The noise was so loud I started panicking as I struggled to stay easy.
“sh*t!” we are surrounded!” Len cursed angrily shooting out aimlessly.
“St©p wasting bullets and let them cease fire” I warned him and we hid behind a small upright pillar that held up the chimney. At last the gun firing st©pped and we heard footsteps approaching.
“Now!” I shouted and we both went out shooting at the guys that where inside taking them down in an instant. We had not taken a break to celebr@te our victory when some fierce firing started drawing us right back.
“You are surrounded, surrender now or you will die!” a voice spoke up using a loud speaker.
“What now?” Len asked me I would bet he was looking at me as all the lights where taken off and we were in complete darkness, except for the small lighting coming in from outside.
“sh*t! Damn idiots! How did they find me again?” I shook my head peeping outside.
I felt tra-pped and was almost giving in when I heard gun fire from a few meters away and later a retaliation from the men outside.
“Aaron” I whispered with a smile
“Scar is here. Good!” I stood and crawled out.
“Stay put. I don’t want to lose any more men today” I raised my hand at Len who wanted to follow me.
In a short time it was all silent and the last man from the enemy side rushed in trying to hide but I sh0t him in the shoulder s£nding him down. The sound of a car getting away made me rush outside. I watched as it drove away at a great speed.
“Hey, are you okey?” Scar walked towards me his gun swaying in his hand.
“Yeah” I looked up at him and he smiled shaking his head.
“What the hell is going on, you have all that army trying to kill you?” he looked around some dead guys around.
“Told you it’s h0t, and we nee-d to move. It seems someone has messed me up” I signaled as Len walked out too. We managed to gr-ab what we could from the house and moved out but that was before burying the dead bodies in one large pity.
Here we were standing in a shed with men looking around.
“Tell me what the hell is going on with your group” Scar asked stepping loser to me startling me.
“I don’t know man, we are only a few but I don’t know what is going on, my most trusted man sold me out and even though I have a feeling something is not right with him somewhere I have to listen to him, he just confirmed I have been compromised, that means we nee-d to plan our next moves carefully thankfully he doesn’t know I involved you, he knows I was seeking for a hand but he doesn’t know who it is” I explained.
“Let’s get to it alre-ady, but before I nee-d my men paid an advance” he shrugged.
“What? That wasn’t the deal man “I argued,
“Well, it wasn’t the deal that we would run into gun sh0ts and save your as-s even before we get to do your thing man, they nee-d something to motivate them” he sighed taking in some red wine.
“Oh damn, thieves!” I shook my head calling Len with my hand.
“Yeah, that’s how it goes man, you pay my men because they believe in working for money, each gun sh0t is worthy something to them” he smiled
“Fine, I don’t have much after all the things have been destroyed but my man here will get something for them before night fall tomorrow” I told him looking at Len.
“Good, now what’s the plan?” he asked me sitting up.
“How many men do you have here?” Asked looking around.
“They are 10 here but I have others coming tomorrow, about 30 in total.
“Well trained men?” I asked feeling a bit worried seeing others looking younger.
“Ken!” Scar called one of his men, a rou-gh looking guy taller than most of them. He whispered something to him and the man walked away calling one of the boys who looked the youngest.
“Wanna try them?” he sm-irked looking at me.
“Hm, if you say so” I sighed putting off the cigarette and walking out as others gathered around to watch the fight.
The guy threw some punches at me and I didn’t take him serious till I felt him hit my face ma-king me stagger a bit. I fought him back easily of course, since I wasn’t going to hurt a boy of his age. He fought fairly and I gave him a last one s£nding him down to the ground with a wince, he jumped up and c@m£ to me again
“Good! He is strong and persistent” I smiled dismissing him.
“So?” Scar looked at me.
“If most of them are like him then am good” I smiled looking at him. The guy grinned back and re-moved his shades as we got down to planning.
